To say that women deserve to be paid less than\nmen is foolish in more ways than one. For without equality, corruption is sure\nto breed among the workplace. If a man and a woman are both clearing my table\nafter afternoon tea, then why must the man receive $10 and the woman $7.70? Perhaps\nI am overlooking the quality of the work. Did the man clean the table better\nthan the woman? Was the man faster at cleaning the table than she? It seems necessary\nto say that nothing preponderates the immorality of the pay gap, whether it be\nquality or effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To pay men more than women is to open the door\nto corruption. A woman remains stagnant in her position, repressed by the\ndominant relationship of men. This time, the dominance is fueled by the very\ndemocracy meant to rule. What does this inequality do to the mind of a woman?\nThe answer is as clear as the difference between red and blue; it lessens her\nconfidence and self-worth. Going back to the roots of our society, women were\nseen as lesser. For this to be supported by lesser pay, our society must still\nbelieve this. Feeling as if she is inferior, the woman goes home with less\nmoney in her pocket than the man next to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the contrary, providing women with the same\npay as men will contribute many benefits to society. Going back to the\ncondition of her mind, a woman will feel not only equal but confident of her\nabilities and worthy of her pay. Abler to realize her virtue, the woman will be\nstrong and assertive, making for a better mother. She will have the same\nexperience as a man, including the feeling of bringing home a hearty paycheck.\nThis shared experience and equality between the genders will allow both to\nbetter realize virtue, a trait that was previously clouded by the corruption of\ninequality. Without the anger of lesser pay, she might be more fit to control\nher emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overcoming many inequalities, women should need\nnot worry about their husbands, companions, brothers, or fathers bringing home\nmore money for the same occupation as her. This inequality will only hinder\nboth the man and woman, denying them both of realizing their virtue. Not only\nshould this change within our legal system, but in the way that we recognize\nthese problems. Going forward, we should recognize these sorts of inequalities\nimmediately, and work to diminish the chances of a similar situation occurring once\nmore. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
